I was in the central part of the state couple of weeks ago, just after they had a major snowstorm. We shot a limit of mallards everyday. I'm hearing there's still alot of ducks and geese staging in canada, and no real big push yet. Early November is kind of that period where it could be very good, or things could freeze up in a hurry. check the Nodak outdoors message boards, you should be able to find some info there.

Just talked to farmer buddies in the Devils lake area and he said new ducks have been coming in the past week and snows have been steadily streaming in for the past 4 days.There is more to come from Canada and weather dependant,should peak in a week or so.Also once the ice stays the ducks are gone.
